  • "Renowned for making films that are at one sly comedies and stark, 'social realist' dramas, British writer-director Mike Leigh challenges his viewers to see the unvarnished truth about modern-day society. This collection features new essays that cover all phases of the BAFTA-award-winner's career, from his early television work to his theatrical films, including 'Life is sweet,' 'Naked,' 'Secret et Lies,' 'All or Nothing,' and 'Vera Drake.' Contributions also cover many themes recurrent in many of his films, representations of politics, class, race, gender; the changing cultural and political landscape of Great Britain; the differentiation of Leigh from other British creators; and how Leigh's real life informs his work."
